Ramashree who is said to have passed away on 12th December 2019. 3. From a perusal of the impugned order, it appears that although petitioner had claimed to be the adopted son of deceased person but did not produce any document with regard to the same and therefore such a claim as an adopted son was not considered. Claim for compassionate appointment raised by petitioner has in fact been rejected on the ground he is maternal grand son of deceased and therefore does not come within purview of 'family' as defined in Rule 2 of the Uttar Pradesh Recruitment of Dependants of Government Servants Dying in Harness Rules, 1974. 4. The alleged adoption deed dated 1st December 2012 however has been brought on record of this writ petition as annexure No.3. 5.
